The United Nations has extended its monitoring of Houthi attacks in the Red Sea for six months, the organization confirmed. The decision keeps UN observers in place to track and report on assaults against vessels in the strategic waterway.
Monitoring mandate renewed
The extension continues a mission that documents attacks by the Houthi group on commercial and military ships. The Red Sea is a critical corridor for global trade, and the monitoring aims to provide member states with regular updates on the security situation.
No further details on the scope or funding of the renewed mandate were released. The six-month extension takes effect immediately.
